Does a Brown Swiss produce cream in the amount that a Jersey does?

Brown Swiss will give between 45 and 60 pounds of milk with a 3.5 to 4.0 butterfat. Slightly higher than a Holstein and lower production. Much higher production than a Jersey and lower butterfat. A Jersey is around 4.2 to 4.4 butterfat. A brown swiss is a very calm cow in general.

Oh....forgot to say...hubby was dictating over my shoulder last night as I answered your question.... I wouldn't have known the percents by myself...but I do know that for a comparision store bought whole milk is going to be 3.4 or so. Just thought that I would add that in case you didn't know and wanted to make a comparison to something that is familiar. :~)!!
